I normally go CP for stuff like this, but come on. This is fun. It’s a fun concept. The craftsmanship looks good. If you have 12k to burn on a toy (!!) then, you know, you could do worse.

Gutted. Absolutely gutted. I have been following the sport since about 09 and have always loved Nicky for his speed, his work ethic, his sense of honor, and kindness he treated everyone with, from his team to his fans. This is an incredible tragedy. RIP Nicky, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything…

There are so many mechanically sound, manual transmission C4 vettes for this kind of money. CP all day for this sketchboat.

I’m very sorry to hear about your wife. My best wishes for the best recovery possible under the circumstances.

Such terrible news. Nicky is a legend and a friend to so many. Praying and hoping for him and his family right now.

He’s now listed as “extremely critical”.

I’m just praying he pulls through.

Again, not trying to drag you, but now he’s listed in critical condition. He’s a motorsport legend and we’re supposed to care about this kind of stuff around here. He’s in very bad shape with serious brain damage. The racing world is in turmoil about this and people are praying for his recovery. Seriously, not trying…

I really hope Nicky is ok. He is pretty much universally well-regarded in the MotoGP and WSBK paddocks as a fast rider, a hard worker, and an all-around great human being. For my cars-only people, just imagine Paul Walker on a motorcycle.

I didn’t come here to drag you and I’m not trying to pick a fight, but the man is in serious condition and may not survive this for all we know. You could wait for him to stabilize before making these jokes. Just a thought.

I’d like to invent a vending machine that sells vending machines, it’d have to be real fuckin big.

The answer remains the same.

I hope everyone is ok.

I would respectfully disagree with all of these staff picks. I would approach this the same way I approach folks asking me, their local motorcycle dude, about getting started riding: buy the vehicle last. Do everything else first. Warning: boring, sensible treatise ahead.

The no spoiler link is the greatest thing since sliced bread and absolutely makes the pass worth it. I’ve gotten it for a few seasons now and it’s great value, I think, but I don’t spend any other money on my sports fandom, since my fandom is basically just bikes and combat sports.

He did win the race...

The MotoGP videopass is 130-ish for the season and is worth every penny. This is the best racing on the planet, hands down.

Great recap! Small correction, Rossi is now leading the championship by 6 points rather than 3.
